Marcus Hessenberg​

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER

I work mainly in fashion and documentary photography and filmmaking. I studied Performance Art in Brighton in 2008 and since then steadily climbed through self-teaching myself and working with many others. Now I make my living through a varied scope of work. I also edit video and photography.

Very varied – Some days are edit days and some days are shoot days – If it is a shoot day it can be an early start ranging from 5 am to 8 am- I will either drive or get a taxi and set up if it is a shoot day – shoot days can be very long!

If it is an edit day I try to get out and edit on the road anywhere I can.  I may walk into Central London or cycle. If I work from home I make sure I cycle into town and get a coffee at some point.

On Shoot days I will photograph and film – if fashion it can be inside or outside, if it is a documentary again I can be anywhere! Either in London or travel to another part of the country or even be getting a plane somewhere.

I can be working on one project or many different ones if editing and at some point also need to do all my accounts and admin! I check my emails throughout the day and try to be responsive.

Otherwise, I need to update my site at least once a week and work on SEO.

  1. Work your arse off – DO DO DO – don’t dither on an idea​
  2. Take opportunities​
  3. Learn to say no when things do not work for you​
